The Zephyr is temporarily stopped while the conductor does that, offering up a great view of the Silver Rapids and Silver Solarium on the rear of the train.

The east switch at Tabernash was not locking up on the dispatcher's board, meaning he could not be certain it was properly lined. As a result, the dispatcher was not able to get the Zephyr a light out of Tabernash. The solution was to have the conductor hop off the train with a broom and sweep the snow and ice out of the switch points. Then, manually throw the switch to the siding and back to the main. Meanwhile, the Zephyr got authority from the dispatcher to proceed past the red signal at east Tabernash. Once the lead units are on the switch, the conductor will put the switch back in power and the train will continue east. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This particular morning had clouds drifting through the sky, randomly casting shadows. This scene of the Zephyr heading west at Tabernash had been bright a sun just five minutes earlier, and would return to bright and sunny about two minutes after the passing of the Zephyr!

The Zephyr is meeting the eastbound MRONY, currently holding on the main track. There is a grade crossing on the siding at Tabernash (but there is not one on the main, and the main and siding are not parallel to each other). As a result, coal trains or manifests that have to hold at Tabernash will typically hold the main so the grade crossing on the siding is not blocked.

The sun is now well behind the mountains to the west as the train enters the siding at Tabernash. It's headlight is dimmed so as not to blind the crew on the eastbound sitting on the main. Winter is definitely on the horizon as you can see snow accumulating on the mountain peaks on the Continental Divide. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is waiting for a westbound empty that is still in the Moffat Tunnel. Eastbound loads hold on the main at Tabernash instead of the siding because there is a road crossing halfway through the siding.
